.TP 3n
\(bu
\fB\-\-lock=\fR\fB\fIlock_type\fR\fR,
\fB\-l \fR\fB\fIlock_type\fR\fR
.sp
Employs a lock when reading the table. Possible values for
\fIlock_type\fR
are:
.RS 3n
.TP 3n
\(bu
0: Read lock
.TP 3n
\(bu
1: Read lock with hold
.TP 3n
\(bu
2: Exclusive read lock
.RE

There is no default value for this option.
.TP 3n
\(bu
\fB\-\-order=\fR\fB\fIindex_name\fR\fR,
\fB\-o \fR\fB\fIindex_name\fR\fR
.sp
Orders the output according to the index named
\fIindex_name\fR. Note that this is the name of an index, not of a column, and that the index must have been explicitly named when created.
.TP 3n
\(bu
\fB\-\-descending\fR,
\fB\-z\fR
.sp
Sorts the output in descending order. This option can be used only in conjunction with the
\fB\-o\fR
(\fB\-\-order\fR) option.
.TP 3n
\(bu
\fB\-\-header=FALSE\fR
.sp
Excludes column headers from the output.
.TP 3n
\(bu
\fB\-\-useHexFormat\fR
\fB\-x\fR

\fB\-\-rowid\fR
.sp
Adds a
ROWID
column providing information about the fragments in which rows are stored.
.TP 3n
\(bu
\fB\-\-gci\fR
.sp
Adds a column to the output showing the global checkpoint at which each row was last updated. See
Section\ 17.15, \(lqMySQL Cluster Glossary\(rq, and
Section\ 17.7.4.2, \(lqMySQL Cluster Log Events\(rq, for more information about checkpoints.
.TP 3n
\(bu
\fB\-\-tupscan\fR,

Note that all string values are enclosed by square brackets (\(lq[...]\(rq) in the output of
\fBndb_select_all\fR. For a further example, consider the table created and populated as shown here:
.sp
.RS 3n
.nf
CREATE TABLE dogs (
    id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    name VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,
    breed VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY pk (id),
    KEY ix (name)
) 
TABLESPACE ts STORAGE DISK 
ENGINE=NDB;
INSERT INTO dogs VALUES 
    ('', 'Lassie', 'collie'),
    ('', 'Scooby\-Doo', 'Great Dane'),
    ('', 'Rin\-Tin\-Tin', 'Alsatian'),
    ('', 'Rosscoe', 'Mutt');
